Are any of you heading across the pond for a match this upcoming season? I'm considering doing three over the Christmas season. 26th Birmingham is at Goodison, 28th they play at West Ham and then on the first of the year they at Stoke City. Three matches in six days, which is nearly impossible to do outside of that time of year.

Yeah, that's why if I'm going it'll have to be for three games within a week of each other. With the typical schedule there is no way I can justify it financially, because it's on a weekly rotation so you're flying all the way there for one match unless you stay over a week.

What do you guys think about Silva heading to Man City and the effect that has on getting Donovan back?

Mucha's Goodison switch now official
01/07/2010
Jan Mucha is officially an Everton player, completing a free transfer from Legia Warsaw today. The Slovakian international's participation at the World Cup Finals in South Africa ended with his country's 2-1 defeat to The Netherlands earlier this week and he will be allowed an extended break before linking up with the Blues' squad later this month.

Thinkin about making Everton my team in the Premier League. The USMNT is my favorite soccer team and Everton has/might have our 2 best players.

What are the odds that Donovan sticks with Everton for a while? He's on his way out in LA right?

Well as of right now Donovan is going to be playing with the Galaxy in the MLS, that said it is a definite possibility that he is going to want to take his skills to the EPL, and if he does Everton has got to be the favorite to retain his services. Tim Howard is a beast and is without a doubt one of the best 10 Keepers in the world. Everton is very lucky to have him.

In terms of why you should become a fan of Everton, there are many reasons IMO. First, you already have some sort of connection through the American player side of things, and Everton fans in England are extremely friendly towards American fans/players. Second, Everton is a good club to choose if you don't want to be accused of being a bandwagon fan by latching on to one of the big 4. We are going to be in the running for a Europa League spot pretty much every year, with the possibility of champions league every so often. We also will be competitive in both the Carling and FA cups, which are always exciting tournaments.

Everton's Manager, David Moyes, is widely regarded as one of the best 2-3 managers in the entire premier league and is well known for signing unknown players and developing them into solid EPL players.

Finally, as a club Everton flops/acts a fool less than just about any other team you will find in European Soccer. We play a very workmanlike style that is similar, at least imo, to the way that the USMNT plays.
